Outside Ancheng, a large group of Nanyao troops caught up. Looking at the man standing on horseback in front of him, a gloomy smile flashed across Yan Lingxiao's handsome face. He rode forward surrounded by the generals.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and I really miss the prince. I just didn't expect to meet him in this way. However, the prince looks a little embarrassed today." Yan Lingxiao reined in the horse and looked at Mu Jingnan with a smile.
He said, with a look of pride on his face.
Mu Jingnan looked ahead. There were probably tens of thousands of people chasing the army. Wei Changming and others were also here. There was a solemn look on his handsome face. He said indifferently: "The winner has not yet been determined.
Emperor Nan Yao seems to be happy a little early."
"Really? The prince is still as confident as ever. Unfortunately, this time, you may not be able to do as you wish." Yan Lingxiao smiled lightly, but only for a moment, his expression turned cold and his voice lowered, "You said that if she sees you
How will you feel today? I have never been able to figure out why she chose you?!"
Glancing at Yan Lingxiao, Mu Jingnan looked at the soldiers on his left and right, and whispered: "Do all the soldiers have the confidence to join us in resisting these bandits?"
"Yes!" The East Vietnamese soldiers behind them raised their halberds in their hands and were full of morale. Even though they had been defeated for days, the one leading them in the battle now was the prince who had won two battles in a row before.
Seeing Mu Jingnan ignoring him so much, the fire in Yan Lingxiao's chest also rose. He sneered and looked at Wei Changming aside, "What does the old marshal think we should do now?"
Wei Changming glanced at Yan Lingxiao, looking at his vaguely angry expression, and then looked at Mu Jingnan opposite, he frowned slightly, "Of course the enemy's prince should be beheaded." He just looked at Mu Jingnan.
Jing Nan's appearance, the faint blackness in his paleness, and his weak appearance. Is this the reason why he never came out to challenge before? Thinking back to Yan Lingxiao's words just now, at this moment, he seemed to understand something
.
"Okay, what the marshal said is good! Then execute the military order!" Yan Lingxiao said loudly, "Anyone in our army who obtains Mu Jingnan's head today will be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households and be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"
As soon as these words came out, Nan Yao's army was agitated, and all the soldiers looked eager to try.
Wei Changming glanced at Yan Lingxiao, then looked at Mu Jingnan opposite, frowning, and after a long while, he finally said: "Generals, obey the order and attack!"
Following this order, Nan Yao's army surged towards the East Vietnamese army on the opposite side.
Mu Jingnan watched this scene, with the long sword in his hand already drawn out. He shouted sharply, "Fight!" With that, he rushed forward first.
"Charge..." roars rang out one after another, and the two armies were fighting at one point. The fighting began. Blood mist filled the sky, and people kept turning over and falling off their horses.
Because of Yan Lingxiao's reward, Nanyao soldiers surrounded Mu Jingnan one by one, as if they were vowing to kill him.
Mu Jingnan swung the long sword in his hand freely, constantly killing Nanyao soldiers. However, his face seemed to be getting paler, and it seemed that his physical condition was very bad.
Opposite, Yan Lingxiao looked at this scene and said to Song Qing beside him: "General Song, are you sure you can defeat Mu Jingnan?"
After hearing this, Song Qing couldn't help but glance at Wei Changming who was standing aside. Seeing his solemn expression, he immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "I am not completely sure, but I am willing to give it a try."
"Okay! Then there is General Lao Song. If you obtain his head, I will definitely hold a celebration banquet for you and make you General Zhenyuan!" Yan Lingxiao looked at Song Qing and nodded.
Song Qing raised his hands and accepted the order, "General, I obey the order!" After saying this, he rode out of the queue and headed in the direction of Mu Jingnan.
"Marshal, do you think General Song can defeat Mu Jingnan?" Yan Lingxiao suddenly said to Wei Changming beside him.
Wei Changming looked at the movements on the battlefield ahead and whispered: "If it were in the past, General Song would definitely not be Mu Jingnan's opponent, but if it were today, I wouldn't know."
"Really? I am very optimistic about General Song." Yan Lingxiao whispered, with a cold and strange look in his eyes.
After hearing this, Wei Changming glanced at Yan Lingxiao and frowned.
Mu Jingnan raised his sword and chopped down all the Nanyao soldiers around him. He tightened his grip on the reins and coughed in a low voice. However, just as he relaxed, a spear suddenly came towards him.
His expression darkened, and he turned to avoid the blow.
"I saw the prince's martial arts skills on the battlefield earlier, and I have long wanted to meet you." Song Qing came on horseback, holding a long spear, and looked at Mu Jingnan coldly.
Mu Jingnan calmed down a little, and said indifferently: "In this case, I have asked General Song to give you some advice. All the soldiers obeyed the order and immediately retreated to Fengyang City!" After saying this, he raised his long sword in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
.
Hearing these words, Song Qing's eyes darkened, with a slight disbelief in his expression, "Do you think you can stop this general by yourself, and can you stop Nan Yao's thousands of troops?"
With a chuckle, Mu Jingnan's lips curved into a playful smile, "How can you know if you don't try?" As he spoke, he suddenly shouted again at the soldiers behind him, "Retreat the entire army!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Dongyue Kingdom immediately rode their horses towards Fengyang City, leaving one person alone, facing thousands of troops! The soldiers of the Nanyao Kingdom stopped chasing each other one after another, and all of them were on guard.
Looking at him, it seemed as if he could really face thousands of troops by himself.
Seeing this scene, Song Qing looked furious, "How arrogant!" He held on to his gun and attacked Mu Jingnan directly.
Mu Jingnan frowned tightly. Seeing that the soldiers behind him had gone far away, he no longer had any scruples. He ducked to avoid the incoming shot, and raised the sword in his hand. The sword and gun collided, but no one took advantage of it.
Cheap. Everyone not far away was watching this battle, but after a few rounds, Mu Jingnan's side showed defeat.
Song Qing fired a shot at him. Although Mu Jingnan raised his sword to block it, his body actually stepped back.
"Ahem..." Mu Jingnan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood. Without dropping the long sword in his hand, he raised the sword to repel Song Qing's attack. However, the blood from the corner of his mouth was flying everywhere like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing the black blood on Mu Jingnan's face, Song Qing's movements froze, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
Not far away, Yan Lingxiao looked at this scene, a look of success appeared on his handsome face, while Wei Changming's brows furrowed deeper.
Mu Jingnan wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted, "Fight again!" After saying this, he struck out again with a horizontal stroke of his long sword.
Song Qing frowned and looked at the sword coming towards him. He handed over the spear in his hand and suddenly raised it. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.
Looking at his hands, Mu Jingnan's narrow Danfeng eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness, but he only felt that the poison in his body seemed to be surging, and the black blood from the corners of his mouth was gushing out crazily.
Seeing this scene, Song Qing said in a low voice: "Although we won without force, I, the general, have the emperor's orders, so I have offended you!" After saying this, he held out the spear in his hand again.
Not far away, Yan Lingxiao looked at this scene, with a strange look on his lips. He looked coldly ahead, as if waiting for the final verdict!
Mu Jingnan frowned, his eyes falling on the spear that was stabbing him. There was no trace of panic in his expression, he was as calm as ever!
Just when everyone thought the spear was about to stab Mu Jingnan, suddenly, with a 'clang' sound, a man in black suddenly appeared and stopped the shot!
"Let's go!" a male voice suddenly came.
Mu Jingnan came to his senses, nodded, tightened the reins, and rode off.
Song Qing was shaken back, looked at the people who were coming, and said coldly: "It's not that easy to leave!" Then he rode forward to catch up.
Opposite, Yan Lingxiao looked at the scene, frowned and said: "Come here, hurry up and take down the heads of these two people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Nan Yao's army immediately moved forward.
As soon as Guyao City whistled, a fast horse galloped not far away. He looked at the thousands of troops in front of him and said calmly: "It's a pity that we have decided to leave. See you again!" After saying this, he threw the smoke bomb in his hand.
, there was a "bang", and white smoke billowed out. He got on his horse, turned its head, and headed towards Fengyang City.
Song Qing's eyes flashed wildly, and Song Qing quickly covered his eyes. However, when the white smoke dissipated, the people in front had already gone far. Even if the soldiers coming from behind wanted to catch up, they couldn't catch up.
In front of the army, Song Qing got off his horse and knelt on the ground, "I did not complete the emperor's military order, please punish me!"
Looking at the departing figure in the distance, a cold look flashed across Yan Lingxiao's handsome face. Then he looked at Song Qing on the ground and said calmly: "General Song is not guilty of any crime, but they just escaped by chance.
That’s all, I just saw that you seriously injured Mu Jingnan, which is considered a great achievement."
"This..." Song Qing hesitated slightly. He glanced at Yan Lingxiao but did not answer.
Yan Lingxiao glanced into the distance and said coldly: "Now that the Dongyue Army has been defeated, we should take advantage of the victory and attack. Send me an order to attack Fengyang City tomorrow!" After saying this, he turned around on his horse and left.
.
In this way, Nan Yao's army moved towards Ancheng in a mighty manner.
Song Qing stood up and looked at Wei Changming who had not yet left, "Marshal..."
Wei Changming looked in the direction of Fengyang City, a look of worry appeared on his withered face, and then he shook his head and said: "That's all, you and I know very well, I hope that the East Vietnam Army has really been defeated.
, otherwise..." After saying this, he shook his head and rode away.
Watching Wei Changming leave, Song Qing also mounted his horse and glanced in the direction of Fengyang City. It was clear that he had been victorious in the battle just now. Thinking about the emperor's previous appearance, he clearly already knew that.
Mu Jingnan was indeed powerful and worthy of the Marshal's praise, but it was a pity... He sighed and left with Wei Changming.
